Welcome to Chelsea Cup 2026!

Get ready for an action-packed weekend as the 2025 Chelsea Cup returns, offering teams the perfect pre-season hit-out before the season kicks off!

Dates: 

Saturday 17 – Sunday 19 April 2026

Teams will only need to attend one of the three days, as in previous years. With our expansion, we are now offering multiple age groups, with some playing on Saturday and others on Sunday. Only the 11v11 age groups will compete on Friday, with matches kicking off after 5 pm.

Categories & Team Registration Fees 

We will be offering the same format that your team will play in the FV season in 2025, for example:

• 7v7 for U8 and U9
• 9v9 for U10 - U13
• 11v11 for U14 - U17

This allows you to use the event as a final hit-out before the season, ensuring your team is match-ready.

• For an age group to go ahead, 4 teams are required, should this quota not be reached, we will use our discretion to amalgamate age groups or move teams into the most suitable age group.
• Girls-only age groups are being offered, however, in case there are not enough teams in a particular age group, the teams will be provided the opportunity to play in the boys' competitions
• Girls are allowed to play in boys’ age groups one year younger than the age cut-off without dispensation. 

Format: 

Round-robin (minimum 3 matches per team), followed by a grand final for the top two teams

⏳ Match Duration: 15-minute halves for all games

We are committed to fair and competitive matchups, striving to group teams of similar ability to ensure an enjoyable experience for all. We encourage positive play and good sportsmanship from participants and supporters alike.
